Spanish

From Homestar Runner Wiki

The Spanish language is sometimes spoken as a way to make certain words sound foreign, and also sometimes to allude to Strong Bad's Mexican wrestling heritage. There are also a few times when a real Spanish saying is changed for humorous effects.

Appearances

• Renaldo — The name is the Spanish form of "Reynold".
• Señor — The name means "Mister" in Spanish.
• First Time Here? — Homestar says "Bienvenidos a Homestarrunner.com. ¿Conoces a Miguel? ¡Sí! Somos buenos amigos", which is Spanish for "Welcome to Homestarrunner.com. Do you know Miguel? Yes! We are good friends."

• Email local news — After Strong Mad does sports, Strong Bad uses an exaggerated Spanish accent on "sports" and "sportscaster".

• Halloween Potion-ma-jig — Marzipan says "No way, Jorge" which is a permutation of "No way, José", meaning George and Joseph respectively.

• Homestar Ruiner — After reading the first email of the game, Strong Bad says "comprende-vous". "Comprende" is a form of the Spanish verb "comprender" (meaning "to understand"), while "vous" is French.
  • One response Strong Bad might give while deleting an email is "El Deleto Grande" ("El" meaning "The", "Grande" meaning "Large").
